DiFi blows away GOP Senate rivals with fundraising

Last fall, we pointed out that the California Republican Party was running a bit late in not being able to field — with all due respect — a “name” candidate to take on incumbent Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. And now, we see one of the effects of that. DiFi is lapping the GOP field in the latest fundraising disclosures.

A “name” — preferably with one with even a smidgen of office-holding experience — might have better luck raising serious cash against the “vulnerable” but still powerful DiFi.

But that ain’t happening. DiFi is outraising the entire Republican field by about a gazillion to one in the latest fundraising totals. That includes includes her closest GOP rival — Danville autism activist Elizabeth Emken, who was endorsed by the CA GOP.

Nobody said taking on DiFi was going to be easy, regardless of how “vulnerable” the senator may be. As Comrade Marinucci asked Emken when we sat down with her recently: “Are you insane?” No, she isn’t. But Emken IS brave to go into battle at such a fundraising disadvantage.
